After the four left, Bai Manshan smiled at his son and said, "All you know is how to rush out. Is rushing out useful?"
"When you come back this time, you need to learn how to do business from your father. This is your first lesson."
Bai Ziqian knew his father was on his side, but said, "Father, you're being too polite to them!"
Paying for them? I'd be wasting even a bun for people like that!
We're already on the opposite side, why should we be nice to the enemy?
He was all smiles, which made the four men think they were something special, as if their father was trying to curry favor with them.
That smug look of his is disgusting!
He was slapped hard on the back, followed by a loud and straightforward voice: "You brat, learn from your dad!"
Your dad may not be good at anything else, but who doesn't speak highly of him in the business world? Who doesn't admire him?
Haven't you heard the saying "a barking dog doesn't bite"? What's wrong with paying the bill? Even a condemned criminal gets an extra chicken leg for his last meal!
Bai Manshan: Madam, when we praise someone, we should praise them properly. What do you mean by saying that other things are not good enough?
Thankfully, his son is still young. If he thought about it that way, where would he, as a father, put his face?
Bai Ziqian: A barking dog doesn't bite? Those who know the truth will understand that Mom is praising someone, but those who don't will think that Mom is scolding someone.
No wonder my mother was so easily suppressed by my grandmother. She doesn't even know how to compliment people; how could she possibly win against my grandmother?
Finally, Bai Manshan coughed and regained the upper hand, saying, "Your mother's words may be rough, but they make sense. That's exactly the point."
However, we shouldn't be like a dog that bites people. Internally, we should be like a fox in the business world, but give people the impression of being a pig that gets eaten. Only then will others not be on guard and will be grateful to you after being sold out.
This is a perfect example of "playing dumb to fool others."
Bai Ziqian thought about it carefully and realized that his father's behavior just now was just like that of a stupid and rich pig.
I'm afraid those four people will never realize that their father was behind their miserable and destitute lives.
He calmed himself down, suppressing his previous anger, and asked respectfully, "Father, is this one of the gifts to thank Uncle Fan's family?"
He knew that his parents had been preparing a thank-you gift for Uncle Fan and Aunt Shuiqing's family.
Upon returning this time, he listened to Aunt Shuiqing's advice and settled down to learn how to do business from his father.
Ignore my aunt's instigation!
"This is no thank-you gift at all. It's what we should do! We're just doing our duty, and they don't need to know about it." Bai Manshan straightened her attitude and took the opportunity to impart her experience to her only son: "Gifts should only be given if the other person needs and likes them."
A good gift is one that touches the heart.
You must never follow your aunt's example. Look at what has become of the Wu family after she has been married into the family for more than ten years and managed it for more than ten years! The Wu family is like a sunset, getting worse day by day!
Don't learn from your grandmother. Her knowledge is limited to the inner chambers of the house. She may be cunning and resourceful, but she's poured all her energy and cunning into your mother. What good is that?
He was furious when he heard about the gifts his mother and sister gave to Ziqian's savior!
On the contrary, I felt even more that the family that saved Ziqian was magnanimous, as they didn't say anything unpleasant and didn't hold a grudge against his mother and sister.
This was the first time in Bai Ziqian's life that he had a calm and peaceful conversation with his father about his grandmother and aunt.
In his memory, his grandmother always complained about how bad his mother was, and she would cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang herself in front of his father. His father always sided with his grandmother in public, but comforted his mother in private.
